For the time being, we’ve wrapped up Godzilla Day in terms of most announcements and exclusive drops coming form the Godzilla Store and beyond. Most of us are familiar with the major announcements coming out of Japan during the huge 8-hour Godzilla Fest livestream, but there were also several awesome collaborations and announcements from many of Toho’s North American licensees and partners. To highlight these items, Kaiju United has opted to create a separate list to give G-Fans a glimpse into the many different types of collectibles and apparel that have been announced this week, starting with the exciting exclusives that were featured directly on the Godzilla Store this year.
These aren’t necessarily in a specific order of announcement timing, aside from when they were highlighted on the email newsletter, but merely just a reference list of everything we’ve complied together. Please enjoy!
The official US Godzilla Store kicked things off early this year, with five days of exclusive items dropping on their storefront leading up to the big day. On Day 1, Godzilla fans subscribed to their newsletter received a fun “[SYSTEM ALERT: LAUNCH SEQUENCE INITIATED]” email highlighting all of the exclusive apparel that would be available for the big day.
The first item was an exclusive Godzilla Day 2025 Collectors Tee that came in black or grey colorways, spouting a brand-new “Godzilla Day” logo on the front for the occasion. On the back of the shirt was every single Japanese Godzilla film’s logo, highlighting a 71-year history of cinematic excellence.
Additional exclusive apparel included some really awesome JXSDF-themed work jackets, hoodies, baseball shirts, and t-shirts. For reference, the JXSDF (short for Japanese Xenomorph Self-Defense Force) is the military organization in Godzilla x Mechagodzilla tasked with protecting Japan from giant monster threats that have arisen throughout modern history after the dawn of Godzilla in 1954. Just like the Godzilla Day 2025 t-shirts, the JXSDF tees also came in black & grey variant colors.
On Day 2, the Godzilla Store showcased one of the more unique items in the lineup: two aquarium bubblers from Paragon FX Group featuring Dr. Serizawa with the Oxygen Destroyer and Godzilla 54’s skeleton after the climactic and tragic ending of the film. For those pet owners out there, these bubblers are fish safe polyresin suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums in your home.
In the collectibles department, three colorway sofubi of Godzilla’s 1984 design from The Return of Godzilla were revealed, alongside the MEDICOM TOY B@EARBRICK Godzilla 2023 set consisting of a 28cm 400% and a 7cm 100% figure. These two collectibles take a unique direction in showcasing Takashi Yamazaki’s beloved Godzilla design, being able to pose or stand independently with each other. Lastly, a “GMO Layered” Acrylic Poster of 2023’s Godzilla Minus One, specifically the US release poster. This item features archival pigment on 3 layers of acrylic panels, and measures 16″ x 24″, making it a great dynamic piece for collectors to hang on their walls alongside their favorite sofubi or collectible action figures.
Day three was a highlight of all of the JXSDF merchandise. Although many of the items were previously showcased in the initial highlight of apparel, there was also a fun JXSDF baseball cap available to purchase to go alongside the shirts & jackets. Additionally, a vault drop of past favorites was released, including the incredible X-Plus Gigantic Series Godzilla 1962 Memorial Set, the terrifying DefoReal Series Evangelion Production Model-02 Beast “G” Mode, and one of our favorites, the vibrant Autumn Leaves Color Ver. of the new Japan Godzilla Series Godzilla (2023) from Bandai. These are all great figures and represent a varied layer of collectibles that suit anyone’s collection budget.
Day Four highlighted Toho’s continued collaboration with PC hardware company Arbiter Studio, who have made quite a few impressive keyboards, mats, and more. To celebrate Godzilla Day, the company released a new “Godzilla’s Gaze” Desk Mat, a gorgeous rendition of Godzilla’s angry stare in a striking red and white. The keyboard matched this color scheme, a sharp contrast from the previous keyboard being a black and blue Mechagodzilla-inspired design (we are writing this article on it right now). For the PC gamers in your life that are big fans of the King of the Monsters, this one is definitely one to keep your eyes on.
Some other Godzilla Day exclusives included restocks of past favorites, including the Godzilla 2000: Millennium Real Master Collection Godzilla Maquette Replica based on the concept maquette for Godzilla 2000: Millennium that ultimately went unused for the film, but is a popular in the collectibles scene. Of great intrigue, the G-Store also featured an epic statue called Godzilla’s 70th Anniversary: The 5 Legacies, which assembles 5 popular Godzilla designs all together for the very first time. Limited to just 70 pieces, it features Godzilla ’54, Burning Godzilla ’95, GMK Godzilla, Shin Godzilla, and Minus One Godzilla all standing tall to celebrate seven decades of the King of the Monsters. It is also available in a Bronze hue that is limited to 250 pieces.
After a major push in theatres by GKIDS, Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic received some attention from the Godzilla Store this year, including the Toho 30cm Series Yuji Sakai 4th Form Shin Godzilla (Ortho Ver.) and Deforeal Godzilla (2016) 3-Form Set (Ortho Ver.) Both pieces are in a black & white huge, emulating the orthochromatic edit of the 2016 film. For the physical media fans out there that missed out on the initial release, the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition was also put back in stock, featuring a plethora of bonus features, the theatrical release of the film in HD Blu-ray and 4K, and on a separate disc, the Minus One Minus Color edition of the Academy Award-winning film.
Finally, on Godzilla Day itself, came the reveals from various licensees. The most notable for the Godzilla Store was frequent flier Super7, owned by Brian Flynn. Although initially announced independently, Super7 also debuted their new sixth wave of Ultimates figures on the G-Store, with Series 6 including 4th Form Shin Godzilla, Mechagodzilla (Kiryu), and Godzilla (2002) becoming available for pre-order on the official Godzilla Store.
But most of all, we were treated to the winner of last year’s Bandai Ballot, the obscure (and often forgotten) Giant Condor from Ebirah, Horror of the Deep. It’s no secret that allowing American fans to vote in this ballot for the very first time was perhaps the reason this figure won, with the character and its amusing relationship with Americans even being referenced live on stage during Godzilla Day Japan and the Godzilla Store itself saying “You voted for it… and it’s here!”
Amusingly, the initial stock of the MMS Giant Condor figure did sell out for a few hours before being restocked, showing that there really was a demand for such an obscure character. It’s entirely possible, however, that it may have been due to a low stock count to play it safe. We don’t have that information. But this wasn’t everything… the Toho International team took it a step further, creating what may be Kaiju United’s all-time favorite Godzilla Store t-shirt: a loving tribute eulogizing the deceased creature and its 30-second screen time.
Needless to say, this was a treat amongst Godzilla fans looking to honor the weirder and more obscure side of the 71-year franchise’s history. We at KU campaigned extensively for this Giant Condor figure when it was listed on the official ballot… perhaps lightning can indeed strike twice and we can get something for the one and only Skeleturtle in the future. With how popular Godzilla is in this day and age, anything is truly possible.
